The benefits are top-notch. The pay is solid, if not spectacular, but decent given the stability and low risk. In teams I've been on, work-life balance is excellent. Oh, and occasionally we get to write software.
It's hard to get anything interesting done at a company this size. More energy goes into covering your butt and navigating the tangled web of interdependencies than into innovation.
Split up into at least 3 separate companies, and let each sink or swim on its own.
Stop expanding at such a frantic pace, and stop hiring so many questionable program managers.
